The text analyzes the legal order of the European Union, dealing with the issues of jurisdiction, the particular characteristics of Union law, the composition and instruments of formal and informal Union law and the autonomy of the Union legal order. It describes and investigates the various decision-making and voting procedures used to put in effect the Union Acts.
